Kathy Dahlkemper on Social Security

Keep senior citizens secure from the gamble of privatization

I am committed to ensuring that our senior citizens receive secure benefits, safe from the gamble of privatization.

Congressman English voted to raid the Social Security Trust fund of $1 trillion over five years to help pay for other government
spending. He supported the Bush privatization plan, which would have put Social Security assistance at risk in private savings accounts. This is unacceptable; we cannot take funds away from senior citizens at the time they need them most.
